Jeronimo Merino, a clergyman dubbed as the “Priest Merino”, was one of the most important and well-known guerrilla leaders during the Peninsular War (1808-1814). Merino owed his fame to the Napoleonic invasion of the Iberian Peninsula, not only because of his military prowess, but also due to his widespread presence in the press of the time. At the end of the conflict, Merino returned to his ecclesiastical life. This article addresses the journalistic and propaganda perception of Merino during the Liberal Triennium (1820-1823), a time when the priest took up arms once again, this time to defend the interests of the absolutist rule against those of the liberals in what has come to be considered as the first contemporary Spanish civil war.

The Iberian nations held control of the seas from the late 15th century up to the second half of the 17th century through a clear leadership in nautical architectural innovations. The main target of this article is to approach the issue of the Spanish maritime technological development in the 16th and 17th centuries. To do so, the information is divided into three parts, starting with a brief introduction to navigation at the beginning of Modern Age together with the human, scientific and technical elements that made it possible. After this prelude, the bulk of the article examines different aspects of the Hispanic Navy, offering an overall view through the contributions of the numerous authors mentioned. Finally, an analysis of its application to naval warfare is presented from a tactical and technological perspective, since its development supposed the genesis of modern naval war and defined the geopolitical balance of the subsequent centuries.

El Museo Nacional de Escultura de Valladolid conserva una pintura fechada en 1573 obra de Antonio Moro, conocido fundamentalmente por sus retratos, quien representa una vision muy particular del calvario de Cristo. El lienzo contiene multitud de enigmas, desde su localizacion hasta su iconografia, que hacen de este cuadro un ejemplo inusual en la pintura de este tipo de escenas. Su titulus , ademas, esta escrito en su primera linea en siriaco y no en hebreo, como era habitual. En el presente trabajo se tratara de resolver algunas de las cuestiones relativas al lienzo y de revalorizar una obra arrumbada de los estudios historico-artisticos.

This research studies the ways by which the members of the Society of Jesus carried out their missionary project at the Mariana Islands. It describes how this project was led by Diego Luis de San Vitores, a Jesuit born in Burgos. Moreover, this paper explains how the missionary activity of the Jesuits suited the experiences which the Society was performing by the time in places such as the Northern part of the New Spain Viceroyalty, the unexplored regions of Paraguay and the Indian and Chinese territories. The paper concludes in chronological terms, concerning the expulsion of the Jesuits from the Guam and Mariana Islands.

El presente trabajo pretende ofrecer una vision diacronica de la antigua ocupacion humana en los valles del Tormes y del Corneja (Avila), abarcando cronologicamente los momentos culturales incluidos entre la II Edad del hierro y la Alta Edad Media (ss. ii a. C. -x d. C.). La informacion sobre los yacimientos procede tanto de prospecciones sistematicas extensivas e intensivas, asi como de algunas excavaciones arqueologicas. Se presenta asi por primera vez un analisis de conjunto, diacronico y comparativo, del poblamiento antiguo en esta zona serrana y de las dinamicas que marcaron su transformacion durante la epoca romana y tardoantigua. Mediante el recurso a las Tecnicas de Informacion Geografica (TIG), se ha recopilado e incluido toda la informacion arqueologica relativa a los yacimientos documentados en esta zona, analizandola de forma combinada junto con aquella relativa a su contexto espacial (vias de comunicacion, toponimia, recursos naturales, medio fisico, etc.). Todo ello nos permite, por un lado, trazar la evolucion del poblamiento en este territorio, ofreciendo una vision de largo alcance y, por otro, insertar este sector serrano en los procesos que definen este periodo en otras areas proximas, en especial, en las vecinas tierras salmantinas y madrilenas.

This study presents an approach to the knowledge of the intellectual formation of the clergy during the transition from the Old Regime to Liberalism in Spain (1788-1833). In order to do this, we analyze the issues that they confrontedregarding the relations between the Catholic Church and the State and the problems between what historiographically is knownas new and old clergy, principally through the conciliar seminars and universities because them both were one of the best educational models in this context. We pay special attention to the San Fulgencio Conciliar Seminary, in the city of Murcia (Spain), and the University of Salamanca through their enrollment books. Finally, we analyse the problematic of disentailments, secularization and regalism, what were their reasons and how they affected the intellectual clergy formation.

La iglesia de San Antonio de Padua de Mazarron (Murcia), cuya fundacion podemos fechar entre finales del siglo xv y mediados del xvi , fue erigida por la influencia y el poder que el marquesado de los Velez ejercio en el lugar mediante la explotacion del mineral del alumbre. Posteriormente, el templo sufrio diferentes reformas y ampliaciones, modificando su sencilla estructura original hasta conferirle las caracteristicas que definen el edificio en la actualidad. Este trabajo analiza el desarrollo constructivo de la iglesia, asi como la intervencion y el patronazgo de los marqueses en ella, especialmente desde finales del siglo xvii hasta principios del xviii . Una intervencion que, como hemos demostrado, resulto —por lo general— un hecho mas aparente que real, puesto que el marquesado no sufrago la totalidad de las obras.

In January 1970 a bill called “Dangerousness and Social Rehabilitation” was proposed in the Spanish Court to debate. It was a preventive crime law, proposed as a substitution and modernization of an old law from 1933 which was modified in 1954 to include “homosexuals” as potentially dangerous subjects for society and for “common good”. This bill, which included other figures such as prostitutes, pornographers and procurers, was written by the magistrate judge Antonio Sabater Tomas, and it was debated during the months of June and July by, among others, Pilar Primo de Rivera, who was the founder of Falange Female Section. The disputes held during those sessions of the Justice Commission determined the specific language on which the allegations and convictions of thousands of people would later be based. The enactment of the Law on Danger and Social Rehabilitation, approved in August 1970, was also a precipitating factor for the rise of homosexual activism in Spain, which fought collectively since that same year, among other things, for the abolition of this law.
1970年1月,一项名为“危险与社会改造”的法案被提交给西班牙法院进行辩论。这是一部预防性犯罪法,是1933年一部旧法律的替代和现代化。1954年,这部旧法律进行了修改,将“同性恋者”列为对社会和“共同利益”有潜在危险的对象。该法案包括妓女、色情工作者和皮条客等其他人物,由地方法官安东尼奥·萨巴特·托马斯(Antonio Sabater Tomas)撰写,并在6月和7月进行了辩论,其中包括长枪女性分部的创始人皮拉尔·普里莫·德·里维拉(Pilar Primo de Rivera)。在司法委员会这几届会议期间进行的争论决定了后来对成千上万人的指控和定罪所依据的具体措辞。1970年8月批准的《危险和社会改造法》的颁布也是西班牙同性恋激进主义兴起的一个促成因素,自同一年以来,除其他事项外,他们集体为废除这项法律而斗争。

This article explores some of the ideas surrounding the concept of youth, especially those that the nineteenth-century writer and diplomat Federico Gamboa (1864- 1939) uses to sustain many of the experiences that shape his autobiography: Impressions and Memories (1893). Specifically, the above- entioned text is described in order to analyze the narrative postures that Gamboa used to construct his ‘authentic discourse’ (Pozuelo Yvanco, 2006); at the same time, this text is contrasted with some ideas of his contemporaries. The precocious confessor plays with the youth variable, especially to edit his memoirs at an early age (28 years old), but also to make himself a place among his contemporaries and justify his past, which is far removed from what the rules and rituals of the Mexican middle-class defined as desirable or suitable. Beyond the provocative character of the author, this type of documentary sources, included in the category of personal papers, allow us to approach the desires and imaginary of the Mexican middle class of a particular era: porfiriato (1876-1911).
